And so when they got their ml mother's consent the matter was all ar arranged and the company invited ,o without consulting me. There was a m.- spare room in the house and as I had of some writing to do, I adjourned my myie - ie myie self there to have a quiet time. While ot I was ruminating before the fire and ,- su,oking the pipe of peace and tran tranqnility, - qnility, tranqnility, the young folks began to gather and, before I knew it, the young ladies were ushered into my .room as a reception room, and I was kindly informed that I would have to Id vacate. With a sigh of resignation I es retired and poked around generally. r 1 wish I had a room-a room of my k- own-and Mrs. Arp says she wisbes Y. she had a room-a room of her own. ti But she can't have one. She never i- will have one, for children and grand or children would be lost and I would L+ be lost. She can't slip off to Nabor e Freeman's but what a dozen want to ag know where she is and when she is Ys coming back. The dog and the cat =U follow her. No, she will never have a '- room to herself. of But I found good company at the p- candy pulling and bad a good time r anyhow, for I do love these naborly et visits. I love to see the young folks rt, happy, and I love to discourse poli. >r- tics and ciops and naborhood news .n with the older ones. But this candy ic business is not all serene, one of the ig girls burned her hand dreadfully and ie is still carrying it in a bandage. And u then it is so messy, as Mrs. Arp says. tl The children get candy all over the I floor, and the tables and bureau. It 1- sticks to my stockings yet when I ' get ready to go to bed. It melts and r. smokes on the hearth. The dishes are all daubed and hard to clean up ie again. The door knobs and dipper at handles are sticky, and they keep d sticky as long as the candy lasts. But every pleasure has its draw-back. Af e ter every dinner the dishes are to be e washed. After every repose the bed t has to be made up. We ride and e drive and then the horse has to be d put up and fed. We dance to sweet music and have to pay the fiddler. We go on a picnic of an excursion and come home tired and weary. Ev Every - ery Every pleasure seems to be followed by pin or by trouble, just as the night follows the day. But still it Is right, 1g for it is natnie, We live in contasts r 0d enjoy them.

Hope is a good thing, and it was one of the questions we used tQ debate when I was a boy, "whether the pursuit or othe possession gave the most pless ure.''

One of the manifestations of the impatience of our people is that when one "run's down," as the saying goes, instead of taking. constitutional rem remedies - edies remedies that slowly but surely repair waste, to build up the system, the practice is to seek violent and pow powerful - erful powerful incitements to strength, which only prove delusive, and do more harm than good. Tue business man who at last finds that he is losing vi vitality, - tality, vitality, and that he has sacrificsd health to greed, endeavors to make atonement in a day or, at furthest, in a week, by heavy doses of quinine, or by brandy, and the young man who has degenerated by sloth or more active vices, overdoes the exercise of the gymnasium in the vain effort to regain health h, a coup cretat. Ever the same story of national impatience; the feverish alacrity to ruin the phys. iqne by late hours, tobacco, rapid eat. ing and diveis dissipations, and the absurd ael 1 to restore its functions while a locomotive is naking its dis distanee - tanee distanee between New York and Chica Chicago. - go.

I've heard there's twenty-one old maids consider me there "fate' And clever widows live or six that wish with me to mate ; There's pretty school-girls who insist I "must have had some loss," And say I'm so "romantic" when I'm only tired or cross.
